This post is about how to manage a blog once you have saved
or posted in it. Because none of us has quite reached perfection in our
writing, we will probably all need to go back and fix a few typos after posting
from time to time. Today we will learn how to edit posts that have already been
published and how to retrieve saved posts after a browser crash.
First of all, we will need to go to the control panel from
your blog page. From here, select the “Manage Content” bar and click on “All
Posts”. This will show a list of all blogs you have posted or saved. The “Published”
column will show if a blog is currently visible (Green Check) or merely an
invisible saved draft (Red X). Also any previously saved draft that might have
been lost will show up exactly as it was when you saved it as a saved draft. The
“View” and “Delete” buttons allow you to edit or permanently remove a blog
right from this main page. If you would like to edit a specific blog, click on
its title or click the “View” button.
This will take you to the “Edit Post” page, which is exactly
the same as when you were first writing the blog. Here you can edit tags (these
will be discussed later), title, and content. You can also hide a blog so it is
only visible to you but not posted on your page for others to see. To do this,
click the “Save, but don’t publish” button. It will stay in your archives as a saved
draft. Remember to click the “Save and Continue Writing” button often while
writing any post because it will save you from losing your work if the browser
closes or crashes. When you have finished edits, click the “Publish” button to
post it to your page for all to see.
